Pinheiros Altos
Pinheiros Altos Golf Course located within the well-known Quinta do Lago estate, within the golfing world it is known as providing a mental challenge due to well placed hazards. Bordering the 18,300 hectares of Natural Park of Ria Formosa which provides a habitat for many species of birds and has much interesting vegetation.|Pinheiros Altos is a combination of 27 holes composed by three groups of 9 holes named Oliveiras (Olives), Pinheiros (Pines) and Sobreiros (Corks), respectively. This highly original and distinctive course possesses completely opposing characteristics. The original 18-hole course of Pinheiros Altos was well-known for its contrasting nines. While the first 9-hole are over rolling sandy undergrowth with gentle pine trees, the shorter second 9-hole runs through hills dotted with lakes that present the main obstacle for the golfers on this course.

Excellent condition given the recent weather

The greens were in good condition but the tees and fairways were extremely poor with numerous divots and bare patches and that was despite the heavy rainfall in the previous days/weeks. We played the Pines (9) and Corks (9) which both had some very well laid out and challenging holes but the general aesthetics of the course and surrounding areas are most disappointing.
The staff were friendly and the pace of play of our 2-ball very good for the Algarve (4 hours) but, sorry to report, there are many better courses in the Algarve to spend your money on.
Tee Times reply: The course has informed us that at this time of the year, the type of grass used on the course grows very little due to the colder temperatures.
As a result, recovery from divots takes longer, especially with the high volume of play they have experienced recently.
They are glad you had a positive experience with their staff and you enjoyed the layout and challenges of the Pines and Corks courses.

Première expérience sur ce parcours vraiment très agréable, technique et très varié il mérite le déplacement. Excellentes conditions de jeu avec de beaux greens et des fairways en bon état. Accueil sympathique. Jouable à pieds mais il faut une bonne conditions physique pour finir le tour.

We played the corks and pines due to the amount of rain that had fallen in the morning. The courses were still in great condition. Some of the greens had some small blemishes on them, but still running true and fast.

A warm welcome at Pinheiros Altos as ever. The staff were efficient and welcoming. The course was in good condition the greens were fast and true but some had a few bobbles where they had suffered with a bit of disease. But it was still in good quality.
We really enjoy this course but it was tough in the wind.

This is a very good local club. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The course was the subject of heavy rain just before we played but everything was great on the day - would recommend.

Nice welcome and voucher exchange. Complimentary balls on the range was nice to warm up with. Course is hard, tight fairways and up down approaches to tight greens. Greens not in great condition the only small let down, very patchy growth Willis affected the smooth roll.
